Elevators in a map?

Can elevators be created in Hammer alone, or is this something you need to code up in the SDK? If you can created it just in Hammer, can someone provide a few pointers on how to go about this?
 
There were elevators in HL2......... you don't need special code. You can do it in hammer.
 
I don't know how advanced you are so I hope you are not offended by this.

You can do this by creating a door basically, just have it look like a platsform.
Create a block.
Select it and choose "tie to entity", I believe this is under the tool menu.
Press alt+enter and in the list you choose func_door.
Now you can set which way it moves, with lip you can set how far, choose if it moves by stepping on it or if you have to press use etc.

Anyway, that's just a simple way, if you want a more advanced, I'm sorry I can't help you :)

Thanks D, I'll give that a try. I'm just mucking my way through Hammer trying out a few things, so that helps out greatly.
